V r TYPICAL DINNER IN FRANCE PHnoeet Haiun Tell* of ? Meal and It* Service In the Land of True Epicures. A typioal French dinner? not an exceptional one, mark you. but such a dinner aa a mm ill tradesman's fam ily would have la Incomparably su perior to the plain roast dinner. There would be, first of all, a fow relishes, according to the aeaaon of the year. Radiahes, Ice cold, sardine*, olives, caviar. Just a little of each with which to awaken the appetite, then the soup to excite gently the liquids' of the throat and stomach, then a little entree usually a bit of fish with its appropriate vegetable, or a handful of vegetables flavored with meat aauce. Then, and not till then, does the ehief course appear. It may be a roust, or game, or chicken, or chops, but in no case will it be anything which is not In har mony with the previous courses and it will be eaten in moderation, for the edge of the diner's appetite will have been dulled by the lighter foods which havo preceded it. With it comes the aalad ? varied throughout the year by all the possible changes of the sea son, and never, never by any possi bility will it be such a dreadful green hybrid as the romalne, strawberry and green pepper thing. After the salad thsre will lie fruit or mellow cheese, and then coffee. It will take two hours to eat such a dinner, but It will take only half what the typical American dinner costs to pay fOr It, and there will be no indigestion aft erward, no matter of what the din ner is composed* ?

This is not an American joke. The reader is solemnly warned that It is of German extraction. Germans, as everybody knows, like their Jests broad and brutal. The victim of this one was Cousin Hugo. It seems Cousin Hugo made a night of it and got home as the small hours began to cease to be so small. As he climbed the stairs he stumbled (in spite of the most elaborate care) and rolled down Into the hall below. The consequence, for Cousin Hugo Is not so young as he used to bo, was a brok en collarbone and a strained back. Ahead even of the milkman, then, came the family doctor, an estimable old gentleman, and administered soothing words while he encased the patient in plaster, '? "I know, my dear sir," he said, "that it hurts like the deuce, but It Is not a bit dangerous. All the same you'll have to stay in bed for a while. You got a nasty fall. How did it happen? Was it dark?" "It was not, doctor," replied Cousin Hugo with some' asperity, *'It was, light."... _ 1, .. ... .. | But perhaps you. are not a boor- 1 drinker. ? Now York Evening Post. ' :~J . ...... Curing Wood. Wood has contagious diseases! A stick of wood in a lumber yard may be i Bick and infect other timbers, which later may develop the disease when they are supporting weights in a new building. Some of the diseases are so j contagious that in a building they will Jump several feet across masonry or brick to some stick of healthy wood. Cures were recently discussed by the American Society of Mechanical En gineers. Most of the diseases are varieties of dry rot caused by a fungus, and most of the varieties of dry rot fungus can not stand heat much over 100 degrees; so the most likely cure Is to close a building up tight, if any beams are in fected, and heat it up to 120 or 140 de grees. Even this is not always sue* cessful, for ends of beapis are burled In the outer brick walls and the heat may not reach them. ? Saturday Ev?* ! nlng Post. Says Ants D6 Not Co-Operate. M. Cornetz, a practised observer of insect life, asserts that ants know nothing of co-operation in their social life. In proof he cites an experiment which any one can repeat. ? Offer an ant a piece of cheese shaped like a shuttle; it seizes the tip, turns it about and starts dragging it in the di rection of Its nest. Other ants arrive and seize the cheese by Its sides. It continues to advance, but njore slowly. There Is no united effort; each ant i is trying to turn the crumb of cheeso ' around. If we chaso off the ants on : the right the cheese will turn to the I i rig&t, for the other ants are pushing it. Chase off those on the left and it ' turns to the left for the same reason, j Chase off the one that is pulling it and I it stands still, for the ants on each sUU j I counteract each other. | . M. Cornetz holds this a proof that each ant is acting for himself alome. China "Called" Livingstone.

MANY AND STRANGE DIALECTS In Standardizing Her Language China la Facing a Problem England Has Not Yet Solved. China wlllliave to start on a kind of standardization of her language, as we started, aerloualy, In the fourteenth century. It lan't only a matter of words and grammar; more. Important still are construction and pronuncia tion. Our English dialects are prob ably an diverse aa any. Put a Cornish mit\er and a Northumberland miner together for the flrat time and each would only have a faint glimmering of the meaning of the other's speech. What would the Cornishman tljnk of "What mak' o' yan is aha?" He would express the same meaning in "What bo her like, then?" The ordinary Eng lish, of course, Is "What is she like?" I havo known a Londoner, fresh to the fine Dorset dialect, completely bewil dered by a farm laborer's talk; ho could .only get a glint of meaning here and there. ? London Chronicle. * ' I .J Right and Left-Handedness. At first, it has been contended, men used both arms indifferently, and those who when fighting pushed th? right sido forward had tho advantage of shielding their hearts and so lived to produce descendants who inherited their tendencies, lie thiB as it may, there is no doubt that the two sides of the brain have /different functions, and right or left-handedneB*s 1b by no means restricted to the arms alone. One investigator was very often able to recognize left-handedness by tho ex amination of the left eye. The center of speech is on the left side of the brain of a right-handed person, and on the right side of that of a left-hand ed person. Children show unmistak able evidence of two speech centers, though one atrophies owing to the preference given to ono hand. Never theless, experiments show that it can be successfully resuscitated. ?

Treatment for Nervous Child. With highly strung children there is a sad readiness to pick up nervous tricks from their elders. Thus from one he learns to stammer, while from another he adopts various nervous movements of the muscles of the face or limbs. Such children need to be well fed and kept as much as possible in the open air, to lead a quiet life without excitement, and without over exercise of the brain. Above all, they must bo kept as much as possible away from those peoplo from whom they seem to bo taking tho tricks of nervousness.*. Ticklish Question.
